“Casablanca, Morocco – US Ambassador Duke Buchan III has underscored the United States’unwavering support for Morocco’s sovereignty and territorial integrity during the opening of a new consulate compound in Casablanca.
The event, which marked a significant milestone in the strategic partnership between the two nations, saw Buchan III highlighting the robust relationship between the United States and Morocco.
The ambassador’s remarks came as the new consulate, situated in the Casablanca Finance City, was officially inaugurated.
The $350 million investment in the consulate, which is expected to contribute to Morocco’s economy, underscores the commitment of both countries to deepen their ties. Buchan III emphasized the US’s steadfast position in support of Morocco’s sovereignty, particularly concerning the Sahara region. “From Tangier to Dakhla, we stand with Morocco, “he declared, echoing President Trump’s support for Moroccan sovereignty over the Moroccan Sahara.
The new consulate, a symbol of the enhanced diplomatic engagement, is poised to foster greater economic cooperation and investment between the United States and Morocco. It also represents the US’s engagement to ensure the participation of all parties in the resolution of the Sahara dispute, with the Autonomy Plan as the only viable solution.
The ambassador’s comments came as a new blow to Algeria’s regime and the Polisario Front, which have long advocated for the outdated referendum claims.
The US’s support for Morocco’s Autonomy Proposal has gained momentum, with a growing list of countries backing it as the only framework to end the dispute. Buchan III also commended King Mohammed VI’s leadership in transforming Morocco into a hub for investment, innovation, and opportunity.
The new consulate’s opening is expected to enhance cultural exchanges and trade between the United States and Morocco, marking a new chapter in their bilateral relationship.”.
